Creating... for myself

I'm currently working on a ripple scarf for myself. I'd made a scarf about four years ago from the chocolate & plum superwash merino wool that I've just finished up (the chin tie hat & ripple leaf hat & ripple scarf were made with left over skeins from my scarf & hat project four years ago). I made the scarf too long at the time. So I pulled it out and started fresh because I love the way the ripple scarf in plum came out and wanted one for myself. Those ripple scarves take quite a bit of time to complete! I should be done by the end of the week, I'm working on it peace meal.

I've been focusing on family for the past couple of weeks. It's important to find balance in life. Too often I can let my energy to toward one particular project, ignoring other important life matters. I have been focusing on balancing my life and being grateful for what God has blessed me with - a wonderful family, caring husband, and two lovely boys to raise. My shop is very important to me, but nothing ranks above my love for God and family!

I look forward to showing you what I've been creating - for the shop, as gifts, for myself, and for my family. Stay tuned for pictures of these beautiful items!
